Here are two of my favorite people.....not my favorite, that honor goes to Frank...<G>....but close. I have to agree with Evan on this. I am sure he'll argue the point as well as it can be argued.

There surely is no harm in leaving it as it is. Where IS the harm in that? We exclude a portion of our breed for no reason I can see. It does no good to stick to something when you are wrong, just because that is the way it was. When this nation was formed, those who formed it to be a more perfect union, left open the opportunity to ammend the constitution. We have changed the standard as we find reasons to do so. At one point we changed it to exclude Whites. Unless someone can show me a reason to exclude them now, I say it is time to correct a mistake.
